Riding North - Malcolm, ?

The night is cool and the moon is obscured by clouds, making it unnaturally dark as Malcolm rides North. The rustling of the leaves and the sound of the sea are his constant companions. The small huts of fishermen and a few farms dot the landscape.

Hollen’s Tower, Tidehall – Malcolm, Seff

The sun was low on the sea, and wisps of fog roiled just offshore. Malcolm reclined sleepily in a hard wooden chair next to what remained of an aged scorpion high above the waves. The siege weapon, like most of the weapons on Tidehall’s seaward side, had been built when Malcolm was a child during the War of the Ninepenny Kings, but was now largely rotted away by disuse, time and salt. The chair, originally meant for the crewman aiming the weapon, was still serviceable, however.

Intrigue on the Beach - Seff, Lara

I think we're just going to do this as an intrigue of Lara (and Seff if he joins in) vs. the Priest directly, with the crowd hanging in the balance. So speech/actions can be directed at the crowd, but will contend with the Priest's defenses, and his vice versa. 

The Priest rolled an 11 for initiative.

Tannyr's Quay - Roger, Daeron, Seff, Lara

Tannyr's Quay was busy today. Two galleys had arrived yesterday and another just moments ago. Many regional merchants from all over the Blue Fork riverlands and the hills to the southwest were in for market as well.  The taverns and inns by the docks were all bursting with patrons and their coin. Seff found it easy to dissolve into the crowd and make his way toward the docks and then North to the shore.

-------------------
ooc - If Lara is following Seth we'll need opposed rolls, if she's going directly to the shore she'll arrive before Seth.

Narrator's House Rules

I'm going to list any house rules I'm implementing here. Please bear with me while I learn the system as I will probably add more as we play.

  • the size of domains are doubled to expand the scope of the play area. Thus 1 domain is 2 leagues square (7 miles square or 49 square miles).
  • Domains with a coastline are considered to have "territorial" waters equivalent to the number of coastline domains.

Tidehall Yard - Lara, Roger, Seff

Seff returned from the stables to the yard and saw that the girl from the mummer's troupe was still watching. The girl had been carrying supplies from the castle to the troupe's wagon but had stopped to watch the fighting and never left.Earlier Seff had been drilling with Daeron, Ser Roger, Ser Malcolm, and Ser Bohemund. When Daeron and Malcolm had gone to the council meeting Malcolm had told Seff to see to his horse and that he was then free to do what he wished until further notice. Now only Roger and Bohemund remained. Roger had moved a wooden target into the yard and Bohemund was carrying several throwing axes from the armory.

Council Meeting - Daeron, Malcolm

Daeron hurriedly entered the hall. His eyes scanned the room and noted the presence of Ser Malcolm, who was often named Castellan in Lord Gilder's absence, Maester Aldrik, Ser Sigurd, the commander of the fleet, and even Septon Ravel from the town. He was running late thanks to Ser Roger. Daeron wasn't sure Roger knew the meaning of practice. While sparring in the yard this morning one of Roger's titanic blows had knocked him off his feet and into the mud. He had had to change clothes before coming to the Lord's small council meeting. Lord Gilder was commanding the Ice Maiden on patrol today and had left instructions for Daeron to preside over the small council.
